Meditation Retreat
April 23, 2014
A few weeks ago I attended a three day meditation retreat at the Ligmincha Institute in Virginia. The retreat was awesome and I am sharing here a link to a video which was taken during this very retreat. It is an hour long so it does go into some depth and includes some guided meditation by Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche and an interesting question and answer session with questions from around the world via internet. Enjoy.

February 18, 2009
The power of the mind to affect the body may be nowhere better illustrated than in the practice of Tummo, a Tibetan advanced meditation technique in which great heat is produced through specific postures, breathing methods, and visualizations (imagination). Stories have circulated about the ability of Tibetan monks to dry wet sheets on their bare skin in the below freezing temperatures of the mountains of Tibet and Nepal.

Through the study of this kind meditation, western science is beginning to understand how effective the use of the mind can be to effect the body. Through the combination of scientific study and centuries-old meditation techniques, the potential is there to find better treatments for some illnesses and, maybe, better life-styles to prevent the need for those treatments.

Tenzin Wangyal Rinpoche, is a master of the Dzogchen meditative tradition of Tibet. He holds the Doctorate Degree of Geshe and is an accomplished scholar in the
Bonpo and the Buddhist textual traditions of philosophy, exegesis, and
debating. Upon graduation in 1986, he was employed at the Library of
Tibetan Works and Archives at Dharamsala, India. That same year he was
appointed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama to be the representative of
the Bon school to the assembly of deputies of the government in exile.
He was the first to bring the precious Bon Dzogchen
teachings to the West in 1988, when he was invited by Chogyal Namkhai
Norbu Rinpoche to Italy in order to teach at his center. He is one of
the very few Bonpo masters living in the West who is trained in the Bon
tradition and qualified to teach. Rinpoche founded Ligmincha Institute in March of 1992, a retreat center in rural Virginia near Charlottesville.
Four of his books have been published: Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep
Tibetan Shamanism, Tantra, and Dzogchen; Wonders of the Natural Mind
The video below is from YouTube where Rinpoche has posted a series videos with teaching, instructions, and guidance in the practice described in his book Tibetan Sound Healing. This is the first of this series on YouTube.
